Question

question 7 of 10
what type of force slows down a skydiver?
a. gravity
b. air resistance
c. friction
d. magnetic force

Explanation:

When a skydiver is falling, air resistance (also known as drag) acts opposite to the direction of motion. Gravity (A) is the force pulling the skydiver down. Friction (C) is usually associated with surfaces in contact (e.g., sliding on the ground). Magnetic force (D) is not relevant here as there's no mention of magnetic materials. Air resistance (B) is the force that opposes the motion of the skydiver and slows them down.

Answer:

B. Air resistance
